    You could probably hear the tap tap tap of blackberry lady to your left. I was behind you, silently posting and seething! :D

    Capitalised WORDS in thread titles, Daily Mail style. What do YOU think? Most of the time it's totally unnecessary.

    People describing themselves, or something, as 'Marmite', when the reality is that rather than polarising opinion (i.e., people either really loving or really hating it), people generally hate them/ it.

    Daily Mail bingo includes any article in which they capitalise VERY.

    When a person makes that strange wet gurgling sound in the back of their throat every few minutes.

    I think he's only clearing his throat, but it sounds as if he's sniffing/sucking at the back of his throat to stop his nose becoming runny. Whatever it is, it's annoying.

    That noise makes me feel sick. It's snot at the back of the throat, and it makes me gag. :D:blush:

    People who spit on the pavement and make that horrible throat noise before they do it, Yuck

    The crazy woman at the bus station who shouted at her kids for 10mins straight. 'You're a pain in my backside you two!'. In the most screechiest voice possible - pretty sure she was on something, uncomfortable.

    Companies who say they'll be in touch shortly but never specify when. So I've been awaiting a phone call from them for a week or so now.

    The new Talk Talk Webmail. The layout is awful and I can't see how it can be changed. "Are you sure you wish to delete this email?" warning, down the bottom of the screen every time I want to delete.

    My annoyance right now is friends who can't be happy for me when I finally get a good opportunity (career-wise).
    I told one the good news and they didn't even say anything not even 'well done'. I did say 'aren't you happy for me, you know I've wanted to do this all my life' and they just replied that they were having a crap time of late.
    So that means they can't act like a friend then.

    And I was nice enough to ask what they're issues are and they totally clammed up.
    Why can't I have normal friends/sigh.

    The lack of attention to detail in all walks of professional life.

    I am constantly having to hold the hands of professionals in their respective fields and guide them through processes, errors in their thinking and slapdash work.

    Also receptionists who do not repeat numbers back. This is standard receptionist practice.

    They get irritated when i ask them to repeat the number back and sometimes even have it written down incorrectly.

    Look out for the half-price punnet deals at £1.99

    Yes, I know this is really trivial but it annoys me to no end. People writing "use" instead of "used" as in "I use to do this" instead of "I used to do this". I just read a post (in this forum) where the person managed to do it twice in one sentence.

    The worst is when people use 'worse' instead of 'worst'. For e.g 'What is the worse moment of your life?'
    And when people write 'women' instead of 'woman', like 'I talked to this nice women' that one really gets my goat for some reason.

    The one that annoys me is when people write 'prolly' instead of probably >:(:kitty:

    Yeah, that's another one. Just think about what you're saying! And really, I don't expect people to be absolutely perfect - I'm certainly not - but just the basics. Please.

    Look for the many threads that cover DE shaving, and never look back.

    Today's bothersome issue: ripping new CDs into iTunes and having to edit edit the album name to remove the utterly pointless [BONUS TRACKS] in the album title that prevents the artwork downloading automatically.
